71 Then he went out the gate, but someone else saw him and she told the others, “This man was with Yeshua from Nazareth.”

72 Again, Peter disowned Yeshua with an oath, “I don’t even know the guy.”

73 A little while later, another person stood up and went to Peter, “You must be one of them because we can tell by your accent.”

74 Peter began to curse and promise, “I don’t know that man.” Just then the rooster crowed 75 and then Peter remembered that Yeshua had said that he would deny him three times before the rooster crowed. He left the courtyard and went away and bawled in shame.

69 But the girl that had seen him said to some of the others standing around, “That guy’s one of them.”

70 But again Peter denied it.

A little while later, some of those standing there said, “You must be one of them because you’re from Galilee.”

71 Now Peter started swearing and cursing and said, “I’ve never even met that fellow that you’re all talking about!”

72 And right then the rooster crowed for the second time. Peter remembered now what Yeshua had told him—how he would renounce Yeshua three times before the rooster crows—and he broke down and cried.

58 A little while later someone else noticed him and said, “You’re also one of them!”

“Man, I’m not!” Peter retorted.

59 About an hour later, someone else insisted on saying, “This fellow was definitely with him because he’s also a Galilean!”

60 “Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Peter responded, and while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.

61 Just then the master turned at looked at Peter and he suddenly remembered what the master had said, “Before the rooster crows today, three times you’ll deny even knowing me.” 62 Then Peter went out of the courtyard and cried like a baby.
